Yet Another 6 Month Report :^)
(I posted this by mistake in another forum, and I feel like a doofus. )
My labs are very good, so I'm getting in my protein and vitamins like I should. The surgeon is happy with my weight loss and said nice things about how I look. (Is it ok to love one's surgeon?)
I hate to post this after all the surgeries I've had, but I have another or the same hernia. He said the mesh seems to be holding it in for now, and hopefully I will be able to wait until tummy tuck time to have it fixed. From his mouth to God's ear... I'm wearing a binder again, just to be safe.
I posted pictures of my skin graft and hernia in my profile if anyone wants to scroll down to see them. The thing is huge. I've named it Pokey to go with my Gumby (very flat) butt.
I'll go see the surgeon again in 3 months, and we have decided to fly this time from St. Louis to Omaha. The flight is less than an hour and the tickets are $38 before they add on all the extras. Not bad. I've never been on a plane, so this should be quite an adventure! DH is going with me, so we'll find our way together. He was in the Navy and flew all over the place, so I'm counting on him to guide me.
